Forum:	moviesandfilms	Subject:	Archived pre-YouTube online videos?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, and I am aware my writing skills are poor, but I am wondering if the Internet Archive has any pre-2005 videos produced specifically for online distribution, such as those people uploaded to their own websites (prior to the likes of Wikipedia killing off a lot of private websites) and as well as those produced for very early, largely unsuccessful attempts at streaming (remember the website Like Television? Didn't think so).

The reason I ask is because I woke up this morning thinking about all of the videos I downloaded in the early 2000s in the days before YouTube took over. I'm guessing all of those videos are now lost though. Just wondering if some other videos of that period have been archived.
